XLIB Library (C) 1997-99 A.Solovjev


The XLIB library provides a stuff for work with so called type descriptors and
with structures based on usage of type descriptors.

Clarion language has 4 kinds of compound structures: GROUP, QUEUE, CLASS and
RECORD. These entities can contain numerous of entries (fields) of simple
types, or of reference types, or nested GROUP structures. To be able to work
with compound structures correctly the compiler generates for them their
type descriptors. The type descriptor is a specifically formatted string which
describes attributes, order and other valuable properties of every field.
